What I learned on my summer vacation in Colorado

Sometimes a break from business is truly the best prescription to transform stress, widen awareness and gain perspective. I could not fully unplug due to unforeseen problems with a project, but I still found it so worth while to get away. Here are some simple lessons I learned from a recent break.

The views from Denver to Grand Junction aboard Amtrak are stupendous!

Waking up to sunshine, blue sky, and fresh Colorado air is awe-inspiring. Nothing fancy required to experience this glorious environment.

So many beautiful views

Big daily movements are very good for me, indispensable for a balanced body, mind and breath.

Having my team plugging away at business while I am gone works…until it doesn’t.

Hiking around Telluride

Days filled with nothing but fun are very relaxing.

Cracks on your laptop screen make life harder.

Family is important. Moments with them go fast.

Sweetest boys in the world

Working from 10 pm to midnight is too tiring.

Colorado water makes hair and skin softer.

I don’t take enough pictures.

Drinking a lot of water in the high desert equals energy; so do boys under the age of twelve.
